How long does it take for the hubble telescope to orbit earth

Physics

Answer:

95 minutes

Explanation:

According to N.A.S.A, the Hubble Space Telescope makes one orbit around Earth every 95 minutes.

"The Hubble Space Telescope is a large telescope in space. It was launched into orbit by space shuttle Discovery on April 24, 1990. Hubble orbits about 547 kilometers (340 miles) above Earth. It is the length of a large school bus and weighs as much as two adult elephants. Hubble travels about 5 miles per second: That is like traveling from the eastern coast of the United States to the western coast in 10 minutes. Hubble is solar-powered.

Hubble takes sharp pictures of objects in the sky such as planets, stars and galaxies. Hubble has made more than one million observations. These include detailed pictures of the birth and death of stars, galaxies billions of light years away, and comet pieces crashing into Jupiter's atmosphere.

Scientists have learned a lot about the universe from these pictures. Many of them are beautiful to look at."

The Hubble's orbital period is 95 minutes.

The telescope has been in service for 29 years and it's now at an orbital altitude of about 335 miles.

Multiply the following numbers, using scientific notation and the correct amount of significant digits. 1.003 m⋅3.09 = _____ 3.0
lozanna [386]

Answer

correct answer is 3.10

Explanation:

in this question we have to multiply  two numbers 1.003 and 3.09.

1.003 has 4 significant digits and 3.09 has 3 significant digits so answer must have 3 significant digits.

1.003\times 3.09=3.09927

1.003\times 3.09=3.10

Which of the following describes the principle of conservation of charge?
grigory [225]

Answer: The statement "The charge cannot be created or destroyed describes the principle of the conservation of charge".

Explanation:

According to the conservation of charge, the charge can neither be created nor destroyed. It can be transferred from one system to another.

In an isolated system, the total electric charge remains constant. The net quantity of electric  charge is always conserved in the universe.

Therefore, "the charge cannot be created or destroyed" describes the principle of the conservation of charge.

Answer the answers that you know.
sesenic [268]
1).  Sequence from the Sun:

       Inner planets:
                 Mercury
                 Venus
                 Earth
                 Mars

       Outer planets:
                 Jupiter
                 Saturn
                 Uranus
                 Neptune
            
2).  The farther a planet is from the sun, the longer it takes
to orbit the sun.  Mercury ... 88 days.  Earth ... 365 days.
                           Jupiter ... 12 years.    Neptune ... 165 years.

3).  Mercury & Venus ... no moons
      Earth - 1
      Mars - 2
     Jupiter -  more than 65

4).  Mercury ... cratered, no atmosphere
      Venus ... cratered, thick cloudy atmosphere
       Mars ... dry, cratered, slight atmosphere, like 1% or Earth's
      
       Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune
                     We can't see any surface.  If any of them even
                     HAS a surface, it's thousands of miles under a
                     thick atmosphere of methane gas.

5).  Missing from the list

6).  Here's a list from the biggest planet to the smallest one.
The numbers in parentheses are the radius of the planet --
half of the diameter:

Jupiter (69,911 km / 43,441 miles) – 1,120% the size of Earth
Saturn (58,232 km / 36,184 miles) – 945% the size of Earth
Uranus (25,362 km / 15,759 miles) – 400% the size of Earth
Neptune (24,622 km / 15,299 miles) – 388% the size of Earth
Earth (6,371 km / 3,959 miles)
Venus (6,052 km / 3,761 miles) – 95% the size of Earth
Mars (3,390 km / 2,460 miles) – 53% the size of Earth
Mercury (2,440 km / 1,516 miles) – 38% the size of Earth

7). At least seven of the planets rotate in the same direction. 
There's something different about one of them ... it may be Uranus
but I'm not sure.  You'll have to look this up.

8).  Saturn has the famous rings, that you can almost see
with only binoculars.
Spacecraft sent to observe the outer planets have detected
very thin rings around Uranus and Neptune.

9).  Included in #6.

10).  I don't have complete info.  Generally, the closer the planet
is to the sun, the hotter it is.  But there are a few exceptions. 
I think Venus ... the second one from the sun, is actually hotter
than Mercury. 

11).  Just about every language has its own name for each planet.

12).  "Terrestrial" means "like Earth" ("Terra").
The terrestrial planets are the ones that have solid surfaces
and are made of rock.
Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars.

13).  "Jovian" means "like Jupiter".
Either no solid surface, or very small, inside a big deep gas ball. 
Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune.

If an atom has 13 protons and is currently electrically neutral, what must happen to give the same atom a positive charge of +2e
Alex777 [14]

The atom must lose 2 electrons

Explanation:

An atom consists of three types of particles:

- Protons, in the nucleus, with positive electric charge +e

- Neutrons, in the nucleus, with no electric charge

- Electrons, orbiting around the nucleus, with negative electric charge -e

As a result, the net electric charge of an atom is given by the number of protons minus the number of electrons:

Q = #p - #e

For a neutral atom, the number of protons and electrons is the same, so the net charge is zero.

In order for an atom to have a positive charge of +2, it means that there must be 2 protons more than the number of electrons. Since atoms exchange electrons (and not protons), this means that the atom must have "lost" 2 electrons.

In this problem, we have an atom with 13 protons: this means that initially it also has 13 electrons. However, later the atom lost 2 electrons, and as a result, the final charge is +2e.
